Software Engineering Education in the Age of the Internet
The Internet provides a vast resource for innovative use in teaching and training software engineers. Unfortunately, it also provides a vast resource for misuse and abuse by students in a variety of assignment contexts. How can we harness and exploit the Internet to provide innovative approaches to teaching the fundamental principles and techniques in the creation and evolution of software systems? Does, or can, the presence of the Internet fundamentally change the way we can create and evolve software systems. Can we harness the plethora of information on programming languages, the vast variety of programs, and the wealth of research and practice papers in electronic format in a productive way to teach problem and systems design, implementation, and evolution? Can we use the Internet to increase student engagement rather than increasing student distraction?
We are looking for contributions that address challenges, innovations, and best practices in software engineering and training. While we welcome submissions on all topics related to software engineering education and training, we are particularly interested in submissions exploring ways of exploiting and integrating the Internet in the education and training of software engineers. We are open to a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to):
Submissions must adhere to the ICSE 2016 formatting and submission instructions on the ICSE 2016 website: http://2016.icse-conferences.org. Papers must be submitted electronically through the online submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icse2016seet
Each submission will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee. Submissions must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere. Selections will be made on the basis of originality, significance of contribution, applicability, relation to the goals listed above, relevance for the ICSE audience, discussion of related work, and quality of presentation.
Accepted papers and panel summaries will be published in the ICSE 2016 Companion Proceedings and in the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. The official publication date of the proceedings is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
